Which of the following statements is incorrect?
  1. A
    Oxidation-reduction reactions produce proton gradient in respiration
  2. B
    During aerobic respiration, role of oxygen is limited to the terminal stage.
  3. C
    In ETC (Electron Transport Chain), one molecule of NADH + H+ gives rise to 2 ATP molecules, and one FADH2 gives rise to 3 ATP molecules
  4. D
    ATP is synthesized through complex V
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: C

∙\bullet∙ During respiration, process of ATP synthesis is explained by chemiosmotic model. it says that a proton gradient is required for ATP synthesis that is established by oxidation-reduction reactions.

∙\bullet∙ In ETC, one NADH + H+ produces 3 ATP while one FADH2 produces 2 ATP molecules.
NADH and FADH2 are two different types of electron donors. They differ in the ways they feed electron during electron transport chain. NADH feeds its electrons into the electron transport chain at the beginning (Complex I). FADH2 feeds into the electron transport chain at Complex II (at a lower energy level down the chain). The high energy electrons from NADH have sufficient energy to result in 3 ATP whereas the lower energy electrons in FADH2 have energy for 2 ATP production.

∙\bullet∙ ATP is synthesized via complex V.

∙\bullet∙ In ETS, oxygen acts as terminal electron acceptor.
